hey has anyone priced up a genuine cylinder head through a isuzu agent at all? for a 3.1. I rang up today just out of curiosity as im thinking of building another engine up they quoted me $4100 for a bare head without valves!!!!
1 other question has anyone had one of these heads flow benched before ?

There is someone on trademe selling 3.1 heads from time to time. They are a copy but from what Ive heard they are just as good.
The 3.1s are known for head issues but nowhere near as bad as the famous 2lt toyota. Try local wreckers they always grab them off blown 3.1s as they are easy to sell.

i recently blew my 4JG2, over heated. so decided to swap another 4JG2 in. now i have an extra engine sitting in the workshop. am thinking of rebuilding it. the head is gone, and the piston lining as well. i think the pistons are gone as well. question is does the china made products ok for a spare engine? any idea how much will it cost to replace all these except for the block?

They apear to be good but you cant mix and match. The chinese ones chrome the rings instead of the linners. Much like conventional engines
